Roofing warranties play a vital role in protecting your home’s most significant investment. Learn why they matter and how to choose the best coverage for your needs.

What Is a Roofing Warranty?

A roofing warranty guarantees that the materials and labor used on your roof meet high standards, offering protection against unforeseen issues. It ensures that your roof’s performance is backed by the manufacturer or contractor.

Material-Only vs. Full Coverage Warranties

Warranties vary in scope and coverage. Here’s a breakdown of what each type offers:

  • Material-Only Coverage: These cover the roofing materials but not installation errors. If your shingles fail, the replacement materials are provided, but you're responsible for labor costs.
  • Full Coverage Warranties: Labor and material warranties provide complete coverage, ensuring that both the materials and the installation are protected.

The Advantage of Manufacturer-Backed Warranties

Manufacturer-backed warranties provide you with an extra layer of protection—if something goes wrong with the installation, the manufacturer steps in to help.
